In fact, I had always wished for an *older* brother. I have a younger brother and we were not all that close when we were kids but as adults, he was my best and closest friend. (He passed away this past spring and I miss him every day.) I hope you can find a way to not have your heart broken because your family doesn’t look like someone else’s. Sisters and brothers can have close, special bonds as well. I know. I had one.

Now that we’re older I have the ones I’ve chosen over the years, but also my sisters with whom I’ve grown so close. They’re the best women I know and I’m so lucky that they’re forced to be with me FOREVER!

Thu, 22 Aug 2013 02:35:29 +0000http://designmom.wpengine.com/?p=39591#comment-652462I have three sisters, one older and two younger. I love them all so much but don’t feel like we are super “close” due to our age differences (all 5+ years between us) our personalities and the circumstances of our growing up. However, I know I can always turn to them for support and have tried my best to be there for them as well. I have two girls who are three years apart and although they do fight (what sisters don’t?) it warms my heart to see them in their closer moments. I want them to have each other to lean on as they grow up.

She is my best friend and confidant. I am also blessed with two other “sisters”. They are actually two of my closest cousins. When the four of us get together, there is an over-abundance of giggles, teasing, and bossing each other around. I love them all!

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 06:12:51 +0000http://designmom.wpengine.com/?p=39591#comment-644832I too just got back from spending a week with my family. All four of my sisters and their children were there. We also get together only about once a year, and it makes the time together so tender and special. I cannot even imagine what my life would have been like without my sisters! Did we fight growing up? Absolutely! But they are now my best friends and biggest supporters. I can’t wait until our next visit. Thanks to grandma turning 90, I will get to see them all again in just two short months for grandma’s party. ;)

Love my sisters…tried to give my daughter a sister but got several boys instead. Hate reading how vital sisters are because it fills me with guilt. Not that there was much I could do about it!

Like you, I only get to see them once a year (or less with a few of them since we are spread around the continent). How awesome to be going through pregnancy with your sister!

Wed, 21 Aug 2013 00:14:06 +0000http://designmom.wpengine.com/?p=39591#comment-643738This breaks my heart. My 13 year old daughter tells me every day how different her life would be if only she had a sister, but the store is now closed and she’s stuck with a little brother. They’re 20 months apart and don’t seem to like each other very much.

I guess I take my own two sisters for granted. I love them dearly but we’re not super, super close because we’re all different in so many ways. We had so much fun growing up and I guess I didn’t think that through too well when we were deciding whether or not to have a third (and didn’t).

I hold out hope that one day she and her brother will be closer and that she’ll eventually gain a wonderful sister via his marriage.

And today we found out my little girl will also have a little sister to grow up with!! There’s nothing better than a bunch of sisters.

Tue, 20 Aug 2013 23:38:34 +0000http://designmom.wpengine.com/?p=39591#comment-643663I always, always wanted a sister. The closest I had was a female cousin who lived four hours away and I didn’t see her often enough to forge a sisterly bond. I am so grateful that my two daughters have each other and I remind them constantly how lucky they are. So far they actually seem to agree. I’ll check back in ten years and see if they still feel the same way. ;) My fingers are crossed.
